Writing
Notes on putting AI to work
What I learn from building with AI agents, and from helping other people do it.
AI at work
Ask, copy, paste, repeat
Most people ask, copy, and paste. The useful part starts when AI can act in your tools, on its own schedule, with you approving what matters.
Behind the scenes
This site was rebuilt overnight by AI agents
One voice note after midnight, a handful of agent chats, and a preview link by morning. What the agents did, where they got stuck, and what they left for me to decide.
AI at work
What to automate first, and what to leave alone
Some work follows rules, some needs an expert, and some can’t be predicted. How to tell them apart before you hand anything to an agent.
Development process
Leading AI-assisted development when you don’t write code
Turn a vague feature request into a brief your developer can build and check, agree who owns what, and know what to ask for before release. With an example and a template.
